Bobby Brown postpones Australia tour for Bobbi Kristina

R&B singer Bobby Brown has postponed his upcoming Australian tour so he can be by his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown's side as she remains in a critical condition in hospital. The My Prerogative hitmaker was due to perform four dates Down Under in March (15) but all concerts have been axed until May (15) so Brown can stay in Georgia and visit his 21-year-old daughter.
She remains in a medically-induced coma after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in January (15).
A spokesperson announced the news on Brown's Facebook.com page, writing, "Bobby Brown's upcoming Australian Tour featuring special guests Treach and Kay-Gee from Naughty By Nature, has been postponed to May to allow Bobby Brown to spend further time with his family."
Brown's sister was reportedly admitted to a hospital on Sunday (22Feb15) after suffering a stroke.

Former adult actress Jenna Jameson and Naughty By Nature star Treach are set to receive relationship advice on the upcoming season of U.S. reality show Couples Therapy. The former porn star and her boyfriend John Wood, as well as the rapper and his girlfriend Cicely Evans, will work out their romance issues in public on the upcoming fifth season of the VH1 series. Each couple will attempt to repair its troubled relationship on the docu-series, alongside reality TV stars Dick 'Evil Dick' Donato, Deena Cortese, and Juan Pablo Galavis.

Naughty By Nature rapper Treach was arrested in New Jersey on Friday (11Apr14) on a charge of eluding police. The hip-hop star, real name Anthony Criss, allegedly failed to stop for police when signalled to in Union City and raced off at high speed before he was detained by officers.
Hours later, he appeared in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City, where his bail was set at $15,000 (£9,375).
However, the 43-year-old rapper was also found to have fallen behind on child support and was ordered to settle that debt in Passaic County before he could be released.
Details about the child support order have not been revealed, but Treach is only known to have one child, a 15-year-old daughter named Egypt, with Salt-n-Pepa star Sandra Denton, who he divorced in 2001.
Treach's lawyer, Darryl Smith, has declined to comment on the arrest.

The future of hip-hop trio Naughty By Nature has been thrown into chaos after rapper Treach fired his bandmate Vin Rock on Monday (06May13). The O.P.P. hitmakers appear to have fallen out and Treach made the split public late on Monday (06May13) when he announced his partnership with Rock was no more after 25 years together.
Taking to Twitter.com, he wrote, "Vinnie from NAUGHTY BY NATURE is Officially FIRED!! ...F**k him & the Ground he Walks!! Anybody that f**ks with that B**ch a** N**ga Don't F**k with Me!!"
A representative for Naughty by Nature played down the break-up claims on Tuesday (07May13), but admitted to NJ.com that the band co-founders were not getting along.
Blair 'Goast' Bryson says, "Treach is not one to hold his tongue... There's some internal conflicts going on within the group."
Meanwhile, Rock has addressed the online firing in his own Twitter post, suggesting Treach doesn't have the authority to kick him out of the group because he doesn't own the rights to the Naughty by Nature name.
He writes, "I'm waking to drama. Spoke to my publicist. Silence is Golden. In the meantime Business 101: You can't Fire the Owner".
Naughty by Nature's third member, DJ Kay Gee, has yet to comment on his pals' war of words and it's not yet known what impact the fall out will have on the trio's upcoming tour dates. They are booked to play a series of concerts throughout the summer (13), including a gig in Durham, North Carolina on 18 May (13) and the Roots Picnic festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 1 June (13).

Victor Rosa (John Leguizamo) is a Latino drug dealer from the East Bronx and a very good businessman in his way. He knows that money is master and he's got a lot of it--about $4 million liquid cash stored at the apartments of various downtrodden acquaintances whose rent he pays in exchange for the favor. Aside from occasional bloodshed life is good but when Victor's girlfriend Carmen (Delilah Cotto) gets pregnant he decides to go legit and his remarkable street savvy means very little in the face of so-called legitimate business. He's incredibly naïve and the mistakes he makes along the way cost him dearly. First he teams up with Carmen's friend Trish's (Denise Richards) boyfriend Jack (Peter Sarsgaard) an investment banker--mistake number one. Then because drug dealing isn't an easy profession to phase oneself out of Victor cuts a deal with his boss La Colombiana (Isabella Rossellini) promising her a 500 percent return on a $1.5 million investment if she lets him out of his territory unscathed. That was mistake number two as Victor discovers when Jack turns out to be significantly less legit than he seems (see mistake number one). Of course the whole point of this mess is that you can't tell the good guys from the bad just by looking at them especially if they're all pretty much bad to the bone.
Leguizamo a Colombian-born New York-based actor known since 1995's House of Buggin' for his biting standup comedy and satirical bent attempts to prove in Empire that he can still hold his own in a dramatic role. While he makes a valiant effort Empire is not a film that showcases his dramatic talents to their best effect. If we were to take each scene as an individual vignette it would have to be said that the cast plays them at least passably and sometimes exceptionally well. But a film is more than a series of scenes strung together. In Empire the actions and emotions the characters display in one scene are often completely unconnected to the actions and emotions they display in the next which results in a sad lack of continuity and motivation that must be blamed less on the actors and more on the script and the direction. You know something's wrong when the actors who come off best are the ones with the most one-dimensional characters: in this case Richards as Carmen's two-faced friend Rossellini as the hard-hearted drug queenpin and Sarsgaard as the slick investment banker.
That brings us to the directing issue. Empire written and directed by Franc. Reyes is a film with something to say about the urban Latino culture and community a group of people who get very little chance in the mainstream American media to say much of anything. He should be commended for that. It's unfortunate however that he uses every played-out trick in the urban-cinema book to get his message across. From casting rappers (Fat Joe and Treach from Naughty by Nature) to draw in the crowds to shooting drug deals and fight sequences with jerky handheld cameras to wallowing in creepy slow-motion funeral scenes Empire doesn't bring anything new to the bad-drug-dealer-tries-to-go-good plotline except perhaps an uninspired--if seldom used--punch line best encapsulated by Fat Joe who attended the screening Hollywood.com attended and had this to say to the crowd in the theater "Don't be fooled by the shoot 'em up bang bang…if you use drugs or sell drugs…you're gonna die."
